IMPORTANT COACH INFOMATION

There is no coaching license needed to coach a team. Any adult who is registered with the team as a coach or manager can sit the bench. This is a great option for teams with outdoor coaches who want to take a break, but still want their teams to have fun and play.

COACHES WITH MULTIPLE TEAMS

619 Futsal will accommodate coaches with multiple teams by scheduling them with back-to-back games as much as possible. If you coach multiple teams, you must enter this information in the registration system when you register.

GAME SCORECARDS

Before each game, a pre-printed game card will be available from the referees. The cards will be populated with player names. Please check the cards for accuracy before the game begins. At the end of each game, the referee will sign the completed game cards. The coaches are to verify the score before leaving the game. The scores on the signed cards are official and will be entered into the standings.
